      I’ve had a couple and always installef LineageOS. A custom ROM with the ability to keep the bootloader locked will be nice

      Funny, my carrier just offered a free phone upgrade and I ordered a Motorola at random because I was growing increasingly annoyed by my Samsung. Luck was with me!

      StarTAC hand-me-down as my first cell phone.

      Motorola Droid as my first smart phone.

      I haven’t had many Motorolas, but my limited history with them has been pretty alright!

    That’s great, if I was going to pick a phone brand for Graphene it would be Motorola.

        I really, really miss the fingerprint scanner navigation from my Moto G5s Plus. Unfortunately, nowadays phones have minimal bezels, so it’s not possible.
        And yes, I would prefer bezels and 16:9 screen. It’s much easier to hold it that way. Or at least enough to get rid of cut-outs and curved corners. Give me all my pixels!

        But also there was volume button music control, so I could skip songs without using the screen. Very useful at night, but also when just having the phone in a pocket.
        Tap to adjust volume, hold to skip.

    Lenovo is walking on the razor’s edge. They are still a chinese company and can’t help themselves. My G23 had Lenovo’s adware instaled after a version upgrade, kept pushing for Live Lock Screens. Had to uninstall the crap on the user through adb, just disabling it didn’t work.

    You have to think and view this deal as GrapheneOS with Lenovo, not with Motorola.

    I’ve had a few moto phones and one edge, in general I was quite happy with them. Motorola doesn’t change the Android UI too much and only adds a few convenience functions.

    Price / value ratio is also pretty good.

    I love my razr 2024, but I’ve been patiently waiting for graphene to support a decent non-google phone. Looks like I’m about to get the best of both worlds!

    Wonderful. Motorola is one of the few phones that did a stylus like Samsung.
